Hi Dientjie

I have received the unenviable task of trying to help a restaurant by getting the staff wages problems sorted out. If you have any sample excel that can help that would be great so that i can get the hemorrhaging of money out of the way, then deal with the unruly staff. On another question, the restaurant currently pays above the minimum hourly wage, they are paying R150 per day, saturday at 1.5 and then sundays being double. I need to naturally reduce the hours to 45 per staff member, but with only 2 chefs, the current staff do make the restaurant run slow. No wonder the restaurant has been through 4 managers previously to me in 1.6 years (another discussion point another day).

Now i am requested to reduce the hourly wage to R15.17 as per hospitality guidelines, my memory is vague on this but i think it is legal, there are no contracts signed by any staff( unprofessional to fill it in themselves by pen, bwahhahaha).

Any suggestion on this is nightmare is appreciated.
